CMM Operator Zeiss-LK 2nd Shift

Acme Industries • Elk Grove Village, IL

6d • $25 - $29 • Onsite

About The Position

Acme Industries machines large, complex castings and forgings - finished components measured in feet, not inches, and weighing anywhere from 50 pounds to over a ton. We're looking for an experienced CMM Operator who knows what it takes to inspect big, heavy, high-value parts on large-envelope Zeiss and LK Coordinate Measuring Machines. Inspecting large components is its own discipline. On any given shift you might be staging and orienting oversized machined castings and forgings on the CMM using overhead cranes, hoists, and custom fixturing; running programs on large-envelope Zeiss and LK CMMs built to handle parts that dwarf a typical granite plate setup; managing thermal stabilization, datum strategy, and probe planning for parts where a small setup error compounds across several feet of geometry; and verifying tight tolerances on one-of-a-kind, high-dollar components for demanding industries. If you take pride in the planning, rigging, and setup judgment that large-part inspection demands, you'll fit right in here.

Requirements

• Experience operating Zeiss and/or LK CMMs
• Hands-on experience inspecting large or heavy components - castings, forgings, weldments, or similar
• Comfort and experience with overhead cranes, hoists, and rigging for part handling (or willingness to be trained and certified)
• Strong blueprint reading and GD&T interpretation skills
• Attention to detail and sound judgment
• Ability to work 2nd shift

Nice To Haves

• Calypso and/or CAMIO experience a plus
• Candidates whose background is exclusively small parts will find this a significant transition

Responsibilities

• Perform dimensional inspection of large precision-machined castings and forgings using Zeiss and LK CMMs
• Safely handle, lift, and fixture heavy components using overhead cranes, hoists, and lifting equipment
• Interpret complex blueprints and GD&T to verify part conformance
• Execute existing CMM programs and assist with setup and alignment for new part configurations
• Document inspection results and communicate findings to machinists, engineers, and quality leadership
• Support first-article, in-process, and final inspections in an AS9100 environment

Benefits

• $25–$29/hr plus a 10% shift differential
• Benefits starting Day 1
• Weekly pay
• 75+ years of stability serving aerospace, defense, and other demanding industries
• Modern, climate-controlled inspection environment with serious metrology equipment
• A shop where quality people are respected - your findings drive real decisions
